rapper4mpi 0 #1 April 11, 2002 My progression was rather conservative with about 650 jumps to date. But I've developed good canopy skills and still learning all the time. What are other jumpers downsizing progression? Mine is as follows:Manta 288SharpChuter 245Cruiselite 245Fury 220Excalibur 190PD 190Sabre 170-Rapp.s. It would be interesting to know how many jumps you all did it in and maybe your wingloading on the canopy you currently fly. Like I said I did it in 650 jumps and currently load my Sabre 170 at 1.45.
